I rarely review vendors or venues, but yesterday I had the joy of marrying Jessica and Sean at Cappelli's, located at 7701 Reynold's Road, Mentor, Ohio. Cappelli'soffers an elegant and romantic venue with stylishly appointed ballrooms, situated conveniently within the Comfort Inn and Suites hotel. It is quite obvious from the minute you enter this venue that their professional staff is committed to exceeding even the fussiest's brides expectations. Jessica and Sean chose to use all three rooms that are available for event use. The first room guests entered had an electric baby grand piano, fireplace, and beautiful seating. The second room is where the bar is located. It was set up with tables and chairs that were used during the cocktail hour. The final room was the large ballroom. This is where guests sat for the ceremony and returned for their dinner. What was most impressive was the beautiful and romantic atmosphere. There are walls decorated with sheer fabric with twinkle lights. Trees are placed throughout the area, all decorated with more twinkle lights. In addition, there were mini oil lamps and candles everywhere! In the bar area there is a wall made out of wood blocks. Each block had a mini oil lantern burning. Every room is simply perfect. The best part of Cappelli's is that they truly take care of everything--chair covers, linens, even centerpieces. If you are looking for a special wedding venue, you must look at Cappelli's, however, they do presentlly have plans to move to a new location in Willoughby. I can't wait to see what that looks like!
